Our Expert Score

88/100

GRID Autosport on mobile is a technical marvel. It’s essentially the full console experience packed into your pocket, without the aggressive microtransactions often found in mobile racers. The handling is sharp, and the sheer variety of racing disciplines—from Touring and Endurance to Open-Wheel and Street—keeps the gameplay from ever feeling stale.

The graphics are stunning, pushing the hardware to its limits. What I appreciate most is the scale of content; with over 100 cars and 100 circuits, the depth is staggering. It’s a 'buy once, play forever' title that respects the player. Whether you are a casual fan using tilt controls or a hardcore sim enthusiast using a Bluetooth controller, the game scales perfectly to your skill level. It remains the gold standard for mobile racing.

Best racing game on iOS. I’m an arcade racer nut! So dipping into more of a racer sim is a new experience for me. What a great experience! I like I can play when I want, without having to slog through a pay to win progression. Because I’m free from that type of over used progression model, it’s helped me to ease into this racer genre more easily. The game looks great, but some textures are still a little jank up close. The free DLC HD texture pack has failed for the inside of your car tho! But overall it is a beautiful looking game. The controls feel solid. When I mess up, I know it’s me, thanks to unforgivingly tight controls. I successfully use both tilt, and a wireless controller, but prefer to use the wireless controller exclusively on this one. Not true for other popular arcade racers, where I can’t control the car at all using a controller. With Grid, a wireless controller is a pleasure. CON: It makes my iPhone 7 hot fairly quickly. In terms of performance, it seems to run better than some people’s experience on latest iPhone. Performance is overall pretty good considering my dated phone, but I definitely will get minor frame rate issues at times. They can definitely do with better with optimization. PRO: Driving at high speeds down the streets of San Francisco. Definitely recommend as a great racing game, but also as refreshing old school approach to selling games. Respact!

Great game, but not well optimized.

Wow! About time somebody releases a AAA experience on mobile! Finally! Great job! With all DLC is a plus. Far superior to the P2W games and is a full experience with a one time fee that is more than worth it! However, the game is unplayable for me without an mfi controller. It’s awesome to see a port like this but unfortunately suffers MAJOR graphical downgrades on the latest iPad Pro and iPhone even with the HD texture pack installed: almost no shadows, horrendously low-res cockpit and low-res textures in general, terrible lighting, low drawback distance, and all looks much worse than even the PS3 version of the game. Optimization for this game could really be worked on. I wouldn’t mind paying even $20 for this game if it was more optimized and looked better! Now I understand that a game can only be optimized so much before it becomes a hardware limitation, so it’s not the developers’ fault that the latest mobile devices are still not up to par with competitive gaming, but I still see that this game can be optimized at least a bit more in the future. Please update this game with fixes and optimization improvements in the future please! I see a great future for iOS devices becoming more and more powerful with the potential to have full console games ported over. With the last wave of fully ported console games being half a decade ago, the mobile triple A gaming drought seems to be dissipating with the next wave of good, full fledged games swooping in: Talos Principle, Bully, Life is Strange, and now GRID. EDIT: arrow controls and WOW, they improved the framerates dramatically! Thank you for listening to our feedback!

Love the pay once approach, hate the game..
Fri Dec 29 2017 Darkdusk87

I love how this is a stand-alone game where you pay once and you play to your heart’s content, just like a true console game would be.. But wow... They claim that this is supposed to be more of a “simulator” style game, but I have driven many cars, and have never had so many issues just trying to drive in a straight line! NO car on earth drives like these in the game. It honestly feels as if you’re driving a boat with how slow the game responds to your attempts at turning, but it gets even more “fun” once your car starts to turns finally and suddenly it’s as if your whole car is driving on a solid ice patch with no traction whatsoever.. The cars control horribly. The graphics are okay, I wasn’t blown away by them, but I also wasn’t upset with them. Also, I haven’t seen a single option in the game for any kind of customization to the cars, or even any option to try to buy new cars. I may be wrong on that though, because after an hour of giving this game a chance, I just couldn’t bring myself to continue playing it. But I know that I never saw any options in there for it at all.. Overall, I love the fact that they are not trying to do the stupid in app purchase garbage, but playing this game felt like more of a job, than anything I would consider to be fun. I personally would not spend the money to buy it. The game itself gets 1 star from me, but I added another just because I like and respect the pay once aspect of it.

PAIR A PS4 or XB1 controller first! THIS IS THE BEST AND GREATEST - BAR NONE
Sat Dec 25 2021 klickbean

I will preface this review by saying controls for this game outside of a paired physical controller are useless. SO PAIR ONE FIRST BEFORE PLAYING! I don’t ever write reviews but what codemasters have done here is really something what a car enthusiast and driving enthusiast would appreciate in a mobile driving game. Variety of control options and the use of force touch is nice for throttle and brake control. Now this game has NO MICROTRANACTIONS and includes free dlc bonus cups and hd texture packs free! Now the real treat of this game is THE CARS! Every type of variety from so many different eras. E30, Mclaren F1, 1 Series M Coupe, RX-7, DC2 Type R, NSX R , a friggin HONDA HSV-010 GT CAR, it’s really ridiculous the awesome selection of cars and the crazy thing is you can try them all out from the start as they are all unlocked and ready for you to try in time trial and custom cup modes. I haven’t dived too deep into the career mode but judging from the small bit that I have played it feels like it is going to be long and very detailed one that would get anyone new to racing games build to a good understanding of the sport. Get this game, just pure awesome!

Most Immersive Racing Game for Mobile
Sat Jun 27 2020 Hotmail0603

I believe that this is one of the best games that you can get for your phone. This immersive game has outstanding features that made me question if this game really was on iOS. You can customize this racing game to fit you, and it has a little bit of challenge involved which makes the game more spectacular. GRID: Autosport is one of my favorite games on console. If you compare the mobile version and the console version, they are almost the same. Feral not only brought the amazing features and mechanics from the console version, but they ported the amazing game graphics to mobile, and I was surprised that they could do such thing. The game is at a pricey 15 dollars, but it is totally worth it, and you shouldn’t worry. All the DLC’s are free, and the game itself is excellent. Even though all of this makes an amazing game, I have just one concern. My concern is with the cockpit view. I was expecting a nice dashboard with a speedometer, but instead, all of it was blurred out, and I was not impressed. Even though the game has amazing graphics and mechanics, without a few things, a game can lose its point. A nice cockpit view makes the game more immersive and more realistic, and it can make the game just, more fun. These small things can make a game much better. I really don’t mind if the cockpit view is the same for each car, but Feral, if you are reading this review, please add a cockpit view for each car. I would really appreciate it. I am recommending this game to all my friends just because of how immersive the game is. But, please, to make this game better, please add a cockpit view. Other than that, I believe that this game is fabulous as it can be played on a hand held device on the go, and I will rate this game 5 stars because of its beauty and excellence.

Best racing game out there!

Ok so I completely am satisfied with this game. It’s well worth the one time cost and I have very few complaints. The only complaint I can come up with, and it’s more of a suggestion than a complaint, is it would be really nice to have a better replay feature. Especially having a TV camera replay view. The only option for this is the view that toggles between multiple views. If would be much better imo with a stand alone TV broadcast camera view. Also it would be cool to have either a drone or helicopter aerial view as well. Other than that I can’t really complain. It’s a perfect game and you can tell the Deb’s spent a ton of time on the details One more suggestion, more options for the demo derby. This could include more tracks and car selections. The camera suggestions above would enhance the derby too imo. Tracks like a common figure 8, and even oval racing. additions to this could make this game even better.

A great racing game stuck in 1st gear.

I really really wanted to love this game. I was looking for something a step up in realism and difficulty from Real Racing 3, and this seemed perfect. I have spent some time on this game, tried playing with all of the different settings and options, and in the end I just feel frustrated. Great graphics, incredible depth to the game play, great career mode, but it fails on one of the most fundamental levels: they forgot that this was a MOBILE version of the game. Tablets are perfect self-contained game machines for racing games, because of their tilt function, but in Grid, they give a “realistic” handling model where the car easily loses traction and skids all over the place if you don’t control the steering, throttle and brakes just right. Sounds logical, but they forgot to give us anything other than binary controls for the throttle and brake. If you get into a real race car and just mash on the throttle and brake as hard as you can, you’re going to look like an idiot and wreck the car. Why would I want to play a simcade style game where my only option is to drive like an idiot? You have to tap lightly on the screen multiple times to moderate the throtle. Likewise with the brakes, which usually make the car unsteerable with the slightest tap, because the only options are either no brake or locked-up. It’s ridiculous and no way to drive a car, virtual or otherwise. I may try to operate it with a bluetooth controller that has analog gas and brake triggers, but it’s a waste of the iPad’s built-in tilt control. Until Codemasters can provide progressive sliders instead of on-screen buttons to control this game, I cannot recommend it.

Great, but could be better

My biggest complaint is the nearly 6 gigabytes this game takes up with the dlc’s, yet it still takes an eternity to load into a race. What is all of the 6gb doing if it isn’t already loaded? There is not nearly that much content in the game for it to be using that much storage. The graphics are ok, but, again, not 6 gigabytes good. All of the cars always sound like you’re riding up against a wall with the reverb sound, besides they sound pretty bad to begin with. Surprisingly though, the R35 sounds pretty accurate. I’ve noticed that it’s hard to make minuscule movements when steering and often my car is stuck in its own racing line at certain parts of the track. Just a few tweaks to the handling would be nice. As far as content, I’d love to see some LMP cars, (Porsche 919, etc.), and some LMGTE cars such as my favorite modern race car, the 2016 Ford GT LMGTE PRO. Obviously I’d love Le Mans Circuit, Nüburgring Nordschleife, but it seems as if the content additions are done, especially since the game is entirely free after initial purchase. Overall, great game, console quality is a bit of an ambitious statement, unless you’re comparing to PlayStation 3, but still the best racing simulator for mobile.
